- A poem by: Jennie Camile
Heaven

The light that went out
Now illuminates the sky
So many feelings to work out
When a soul leaves a body to fly
Memories and personal accounts
No way will you ever get over this
So focused on what’s been pronounced
Instead of seeing the time together as a gift
Priceless to have been moved by magic
Lucky to have seen such beauty and heart
Still, tears fall at this news, so tragic
Why do those we love have to depart?
Answers unknown
Even when you’re full grown
There’s mystery in the after life
Death is a sort of birthright
We all have to go eventually, no escaping that
But that doesn’t mean when life is done, we fade to black
Look at the sky and see all those souls looking down
On a starry night, heaven can be found…
I fear the end more than anyone I know
My relationship with religion is off and on and off again
I just love life, can’t imagine I’ll ever be ready to go
If only fears would subside so true faith could begin
So much left up to fate
Is there truly a plan for each and every one of us?
I feel some higher power every time I sit down to create
Forces of energy pushing, pulling and begging me to trust
Then I wake up from a dream and cry myself back to sleep
The realization that everything I know will someday be gone
A promise humanity has no choice but to keep
I fear there’s nothing after this life, but dying is the only way to be proved wrong
What we will see
When we cease to BE
A lifelong secret kept
Thankful to not know it yet
We all have to travel onward and when it’s time, it’s time
Really all that matters is all we leave behind
Magic, kindness, and the love we give to everyone around
On a starry night many moons from now, there I’ll be, from heaven I’ll be looking down…
